There may only be one surviving member of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s classic 1970's line-up but the seven musicians who took to the stage at the HMV Apollo on 3rd June 2012 kept the Southern rock flame burning very brightly indeed!!! We doubt that any Diamond Jubilee Beacon lit that extended holiday weekend shone brighter but keeping the theme going they return to the same venue tonight on St. George's Day! Since the band reformed in 1987 after a ten year-hiatus, Johnny Van Zant has taken the place of his elder brother Ronnie (tragically killed in a plane crash in Mississippi in 1977 along with 3 other founder members, causing the band to disband), with a winning stage presence, his drawl perfectly matching the countrified southern swing of the band’s most recent material. Appropriately Skynyrd are our 'Video Of The Day'! Hope to see some of you later!

Not just content with supporting Status Quo - our old mates Walkway were interviewed by another (not so Wrinkly) Rocker Sue Marchant on BBC Radio last Sunday.

Both our 'Track Of The Day' and our 'Introducing .....' feature are dedicated today to Steelyard - a band formed after the success of the Steelyard Blues Duo when they decided to expand and include a rhythm section to give them greater variety and add other dimensions to their sound. With Sara Cotton on vocals and guitar, they are influenced by Joplin, Mayall, Clapton, Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Allman Brothers and Gallagher. Steelyard has been extremely successful and the band has gigged at many European Blues Festivals particulary in the UK, Holland and Germany. They've also supported many famous Blues and Rock artists such as The Yardbirds, Spencer Davis Group, Fernando Nohrona, Connie Lush, Kosmic Blue, Sherman Roberton, Johnny Sansome and Mike Sanchez.
